Aprašymas
Not only is this an exhilarating, illuminating read, it is vital social history.”—Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of The Turnout
A superb collection of true crime stories—written by Texas Monthly’s legendary feature writer, Skip Hollandsworth—that reminds us why America is perennially obsessed with the genre.
Skip Hollandsworth has been covering true crime since long before the podcasts, networks, and television shows discovered it. Raised in Texas, the revered journalist joined Texas Monthly in 1989, and the stories he has written over three-plus decades have helped define a locale and a culture.
Reported, written and curated by Hollandsworth, She Kills brings together beloved stories that focus in particular on female offenders—from the high schooler who was so desperate to move back in with Mom that she had no choice but to poison her father’s refried beans to the wallflower nurse in small-town Texas who one day started killing off her patients to the lovelorn dental hygienist who ordered a hit on her rival.
These are expertly crafted tales that will stop readers in their tracks and leave them gasping with shock and pleasure. Each piece is updated with background of about the original storytelling and new information on the perpetrators and victims where available.
She Kills is a jaw-dropping, addictively readable compendium of women whose sensational crimes and circumstances put them on the wrong side of the law.
